  • could you make a homemade DIAS or Lightning link? Leave it separate from the gun until the SHTF.

  • i know that to buy any fully automatic the gun needs to be pre-ban, but what about a conversion kit(if any even exist)? could you buy a post ban AK and convert to full auto?

  • @Bloodsteri667 usually no some timesw yes if you get a registered auto sear

  • I am a civil war buff which fort or national park are you visiting?

  • Sucks that in Australia you can't have a fully auto gun in any form, apart from collection. Well that's what I have been told.

  • pô rickok tu ké me matá do coraçao com essa belissima canhao cara??? manda aki pra mim no brasil,,,, vo dinamitá tudo!!!kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

  • where is this being filmed im close to nashville its about a 45min drive? wouldnt mind visiting

  • See the large bore in this vid is what he really has on his front lawn. So...when you go trick or treating...dont TP his house! :) Merry Xmas to you sir!

  • i think thats just outside pocket size

  • rodman guns?

  • @goarmy101296 NO! unless it was registered as a machinegun BEFORE 86

  • Two petitions running now at the white house website. One is to repeal the Hughes amendment, the other to reopen the full auto firearms registry. It only takes a second to sign. If successful, this would allow more people access to fully automatic weapons. People wouldn't be limited to spending thousands of dollars on 30+ year old guns if they want to enjoy a select fire weapon.

    We need far more signatures quickly. I posted links in a comment on Hickok's profile if you can't find them

  • if you can only own automatics before made before 1986, how do people get new M4's and things of that sort?

  • @WheatleyBrothers Any normal citizen can not legally acquire a FA weapon made after 1986. The only way to get one is to either be a manufacturer (lots and lots of paperwork/fees/expense), or be issued one by the govt if you work in an agency that issues weapons (which will be for the duration of your service in whatever govt agency you are in, even then you probably will only get control of the gun when they want you to). Now, people can still legally acquire semi-auto M4 style rifles post 86

  • @RepubConserv Thanks for the info.

  • Call me fool but when I read "full auto" in the title and saw him next that cannon, I almost expected a full auto cannon.

  • It's called a Class III Weapon Permit. Fully automatic weapons are legal but to be honest, the flaming hoops you have to jump through makes it almost not worth it. I seriously looked into it and just to shoot at my inlaw's range a few counties over would require me getting written permission from my county police AND the one I was going to shoot in (I'm in VA), not to mention the cost of the weapon was staggering. Year of the weapon doesn't matter in VA at least btw can be made reciently.

  • @gotindrachenhart you do not need a Class 3 to own a pre 86 fully auto, you did know that right? You just need a tax stamp. A Class 3 is for NFA dealers... Year of the weapon certainly does matter in VA, it is federal law that you can not own a machinegun made after 86 unless you are: the government, class 2 manufacturer/dealer, class 3 dealer.

  • YAY!!!! HICKOK DOSE PSAs!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I go to TN a few times a year like cades cove.Could you tell me where this vid was made it looks nice there.DEO VINDICE

  • I was just looking at this the other day, there are only 3 states that don't allow class III and of those states a licensed dealer can possess class III just can't sell it.

  • Dude

  • @MrQwertySYS he`s talking about automatic weapons being legal in the u.s.!this video isn`t about the firing of canons;he just happens to be at one!

  • I prefer semi automatic to be honest

  • FAQ is a good name for the gun LOL

  • @worm4100 yeah FA-Q!!!! lol... good one..

  • @electricblue7 True, but my point is that you can own many firearms without needing a tax stamp.

  • It's nice to see the videos like this one that show the other side of your back yard.

  • in kentucky you need a dealers license.

  • If you do an NFA Trust you dont need background or fingerprints. Since The Trust is the entity, and obviously doesnt have fingerprints.

    Good way to keep your family/loved ones free and clear in case you kick the bucket. Dont want to leave them holding illegal firearms.

  • LOL @ "....serious fingerprints..."

  • Minnesota doesn't allow full auto unless it is getting shot at you by the man with a badge. you would be surprised how many people the cops cut down in this state of only 6mil.

  • @corvette2minivan why do does 'the old bill' need full auto??? full auto is for supressive fire.....shooting some peice of shit in a public street with the selector swith set to auto is criminaly reckless !

  • any outlaw in Mexico carry full auto rpg's , ak47, 50 cal

    Mexican government blame the US

    I don't think so blame somebody else

  • Ok, may question is when are you going to fire the cannon?

  • Was that video shot at Ft. Donelson?

  • Just commenting that Connecticut is machine gun friendly. For now. =P

  • "and thats all i have to say about that" - forrest gump

  • PLR 16 review please Hickok!

  • One would assume life is still good at the video.

  • the only thing bad about this video is that you didn't fire the cannon.

  • Freeze Frame at 0:21!!!!!!

    Your vids are the best, Greg!!!

  • hickock, you should do a review of the remington700!

  • hickok... thats why why america invented bumpfiring, for us poor people who cant afford automatic weaponry !

  • @nominalvelocity I thought in order for a lightning link to work in an AR you have to mill the lower receiver a bit an get a m16 fcg and bcg, thats what I heard. And the lighting link itself is like 7000$ for those who didn't know lol

  • @uhhhhNick Whether you need to mill the lower receiver to make space for the lightning link has everything to do with who manufactured your lower receiver. Certain manufacturers of lower receivers are not as much trouble as others (drop in installation), but you just have to do a bit of research since I can't name them off the top of my head. Good luck.

  • @electricblue7 That's where you would be wrong. Whether or not you agree with the law, nothing prevents you from "bearing arms," even if they restrict some of the types of firearms you can buy. Not everything that sucks in this world is unconstitutional unfortunately.

  • The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

    Canon had been in use for 400 years, and it did not say except for canon.

    It says "arms" and that includes all arms, including swords, knives, clubs, pitch forks, grenades (also in use for hundreds of years) any and all arms.

    Why can't some folks comprehend that?

    Is it all the fluoride in the water, and the Federal School System?

  • @CelticSouthland I say it's the brainwashing kids get at an early age at the public schools and then the extreme leftist teachers in the universities pushing their agenda on their students. There is nothing anyone can do because these "teachers" have tenure. There should be no such thing as tenure. If you're not a good teacher you should be fired and a suitable replacement should be hired to fill the position.

    There is a lot more to it than that, but you get the idea.

  • @electricblue7 every gun law, all 20000+, are infringements on the 2nd amendment. even the petty background check. id rather have 0 laws on guns. it worked out fine before they were in place, and you can't argue gun violence between gangs. if that was the majority of gun crime, then good reddens from those crooks. I dare any anti gun nut to give me a factual logical explanation to why we need any of these laws. all they use are lies and emotion, which are irrational.

  • @copperjarhead I agree with your post. Lies and emotion are the most utilized tools of politicians today.

  • @copperjarhead ....but background check is supposed to weed out the insane and the criminals from going into the shop and just buy a gun....but as with any law will never ever stop somone from getting a gun on the black market!!

  • Id love to see him shoot the gong with that!

  • so that Fully automatic M4 in one of your previous video is 20+ years old?

  • @minerdrc

    Part of the pre-1986 law is that the full auto sear for an AK or AR is legally classified as a machine gun, not just a gun that was built as an assault rifle. So you can buy an AR-15 or AK and spend thousands of dollars and pay the tax stamp on one of these sears and simply drop it into the rifle, no gunsmithing required. Lets you have a legal machine gun that was technically built recently.

  • @chitoryu12 Not really. There's a device called lightning links, which are registered and serial numbered parts (therefore are THE "machine gun"), which make an AR-15 go F/A. They fit into any unmodified AR lower with a regular semiautomatic hammer and sort of work like a real auto sear. There's only a few hundred in the US though.

    There *are a lot more* M-16 lowers, which have an extra hole drilled above the safety, where the real mil-spec auto sear, hammer and auto-disconnect are installed.

  • just hanging out with some huge cannons... y'know.

  • or just buy a book and some cheap metal working tools.. ;)

  • @metaZen And after a bit of work and money, you buy yourself a 10 year stay in a lovely federal resort. I've heard it's nice this time of year.

  • @GreenSkyy87 ha! yeah.. not recommend.. but knowing how to do something and actually doing it are two very different things.. knowledge isn't illegal.. yet..

  • I'd like to have a fully automatic MP5 someday. It's a shame there's so much holding people back from full auto guns. There's not exactly a world of difference between them and semi auto guns.

  • @buttnut1080 yeah..well that's because usually the people writing anti-gun laws actually know very little about guns.. I saw a clip the other day in a show about AK's where CA Senator Feinstein is holding an AK talking about how it was designed so that you didn't have to aim!!! like bullets do anything other than travel in a straight line.. ignant fools!!

  • @metaZen In fact you prob end up missing alot  of the target with full auto!!!....full auto is mainly for supressive fire....the films are bullshit!

  • @hardman476 word.. tell that to the antis..

  • Hickok45 has a cannon in his backyard!?

  • de donde saca esas cosas

  • AT FIRST I THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO SHOOT THE CANON....

  • This is a great FAQ video, unless you live in New Jersey. Here, it's a fantasy that has not come true :-(

  • You need to take a shot at the gong with that cannon.

  • Serious Paperwork, Serious Background check, Serious Fingerprinting, and Serious Money :-), maybe even Serious Red Tape and Bureaucracy.

  • I would love to see a review on the Walther PPQ 9mm.

  • I want to see you shoot the one behind you lol

  • cool i love the last line ''thats all i have to say about that''

  • you seem like a big boy, how tall are you? i'm guessing 6'5''

  • @GunneyJD91 Ok, I figured that :) But I’ve seen less well know reviewer have several full auto videos as well. So Idler the companies are very generous with their lending business or this class type of system that should prevent this kind of guns doesn’t really work. It’s like those illegal road racing videos "filmed at a closed road" or "computer generated". Hard to prove otherwise..

  • dang!! fully auto cannons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • why the heck would it have to be made before the mid 1980's?

  • What about all the "gun review" ppl on youtube shooting newer fully automatic guns in the states, are they all illegal?

  • Now I'm dissapointed. I thought hicock was about to fire one of those cannons!

  • Oh hai!

  • Thanks for taking the time to answer that question! I was thinking in buying a fully automatic gun or rifle. Life is good! :-)

  • Talk about the cannons in the backround!

  • It's more than just built before 1986. All machineguns must have been manufactured and REGISTERED with the ATF prior to May 19, 1986 to be transferable between citizens. Which means you can't buy an M1 carbine then buy an automatic M2 conversion kit and make an M2. Unless, the kit and the M1 carbine were already registered prior to 86. Just owning an M2 conversion kit would be illegal under the law unless it was registered before 1986. This is why transferable weapons are scarce and expensive.

  • @mindeloman Not exactly true. The parts needed for the conversion kit could have been registered as machineguns and would be legal to install in any firearm. At that point the entire gun would be considered a machinegun. Take the parts out and it's back to what it was.

  • @AngeredKabar yes, I believe you're correct.

  • gratz on 92k subs! can u do a review on a mp7a1? or famas?

  • @MrLmao9 There's only a handful of FAMASs in the US. Literally less than 150. I also don't think an MP7 would be easy to get a hold of either.

  • when are you gonna upload the video that goes along with your big old cannon you got there hickok?...nah just kidding this was really a cool thing to learn, up until now i thought owning fully automatic weapons was illegal everywhere in the US but i now know otherwise, just another thing i can add to the things hickok45 taught me file.....P.S that file is quite large :)

  • nice cannon,maybe nextime more infos about the fort...

    cheers dan

  • this must have been your shortest video ever!

  • @AirsoftGunnerNZ, Nope - 33 other FAQ videos. :-)

  • Comment removed

  • @AirsoftGunnerNZ You must be new here.

  • @Makingnewnamesisdumb nope. just most of his videos are like 20 mins long.

  • @AirsoftGunnerNZ Yeah, NOW. They never used to be. It's a relatively recent thing.

  • FULLY AUTOMATIC CANNONS!?!?!? awww

  • What if the full auto is also an SBR, $400 tax and 2x the paperwork?

  • @1PotatoeMasher1 yup and tack on another $200 tax stamp for a silencer.

  • @1PotatoeMasher1 Machinegun trumps other NFA. There's even a few fully automatic anti-aircraft cannons on the registry. They aren't Destructive Devices, they are just machineguns.

  • @1PotatoeMasher1 No, it is just one stamp. You can do a lot of stuff to a registered machine gun that you can't legally do with a regular rifle or pistol, such as cutting the barrel shorter (as long as the modification is noted on your paperwork) or (adding a front grip to a pistol sized weapon).

  • thank you mr Hickok that was awesome info

  • I was kinda hoping that one day we might get to see Hickok shoot one of those cannons at his gong.

  • I love that little "ohai" at the start.

  • Okay, thx. However, in Russia, there're no any legal reasons for civilians to posess a full-auto weapon, except being a state-attested "security officer"..

  • if hickok45 can get his hand on a luger p08- bam- that would be a cool review

  • I really wanna own an automatic gun, but I can't afford it. Cheapest one I was able to find was a COBRAY M11A1 and it was 4000.00 dollars.

  • @zambimaru OPS in Tulsa has one for $3300 or did anyway I haven't been there in a couple months so it may be gone.

  • one question where te fuck did u get that

  • can you do a review on a makarov??

  • OH HAI

  • Hickock45 please review 1911s that use 9mm an .40cal rounds. im very curious about these. thanks

  • You should do a review on the FN FAL battle rifle.

  • and people wonder why so many people get full auto rilfes illegaly

  • @TheAmazeingAnarchist Would you care to explain your comment? Of the legally registered machine guns, way under 1% have ever been used to commit a crime.

  • @ROOR20002 cause its such a pain to get a full auto and keep it rather than get it illegaly

  • @TheAmazeingAnarchist My mistake. I misread what you wrote.

  • I was just at a gun show today in my home town of Danbury CT and I saw a few full auto firearms for sale. An MP-40, a STEN Mk. II, a MAC, an UZI, a Browning Model 1917 and one of those SMGs that Smith & Wesson copied into the M76.

  • so you cant get any newly manufactured full auto guns?

  • Hello Mr Hickock. Please tell me what you think is the best grain round for competition with the glock 27 gen 4? Thank you. And please keep up the good work. Best regards Frankreport.

  • i watch your videos twice once to watch the guns, the other time to listen to the horrible translated audio which gives me a few giggles

  • Fort Donelson working on the sight picture I see. I can see why you sold your fully automatic weapon. After all you can hit every Zombie you want to hit semi automatic just fine. I would rather have a good shooter with a Glock that can hit with every shot than a bad shooter doing a spray and pray any day. In most concealed carry events, the shooter that keeps a sight picture on the front sight, uses good trigger control even under stress by range work, tends to win. Misses do not help anyone.

  • I bet this guy would dominate nutnfancy in a Run n' Gun

  • @inglissupremacy I'll agree with that

  • Anyone that can get there Chief Law Enforcement Officer to sign off on the paper work can get an Automatic Weapon. The CLEOs Approval is the make or break on owning an automatic weapon.

  • @ViCe1986 You can also go the trust route. Form a trust, perhaps the "Your Name LLC" trust, and then you avoid the whole Sheriff Sign off deal, Just ship in your trust forms with the form 1 or 4 and you are good to go.

    I work part time for an gun shop that deals in full auto and lots of the clients go this route.

  • How did you shoot the m4 if the full autos have to be before the 80's

  • @xFENDERBLENDERx the lower is the registered part on ar15/m4 platforms so m4 upper on older lower with a m4 stock is my guess

  • I'm pretty sure you don't HAVE to buy a full aoto weapon made before 86. But if you want it to be transferable to another person you would. Otherwise you can build your own. And it's not transferable. The GOV takes it when you die. Thanks

  • @MrAk47master HUH?

  • @AngeredKabar Huh what?

  • what about new guns in full auto?

  • @choopdewoot Only LE or Military. The gun had to be manufactured before May 19, 1986 for civilians to legally own after paying a tax stamp and going through a rigorous background check.

  • @stnls1911 thats great because after my time in the military im planning on becoming a cop lol

  • Hey Hickok can you do a review on a Sig Sauer handgun?

  • @DolphinProductions1,  I've done it.

  • @DolphinProductions1 nutnfancy. sig enthusiast

  • What about the show "Red Jacket",... they take old demilled parts kits and convert them back to full auto guns. What is the loop-hole there???

  • @DIECASTER i think its the tax stamp

  • @DIECASTER they have a class 3 FFL. That's how.

  • @DIECASTER They have a manufacturing license with an "able to build fun things" endorsement. Special Operations Tax 2.

  • @AngeredKabar So if you have a manufacturing license to build your own full autos does it have to be a business or can you really just get the license and build your own just to have fun, then destroy it if your license runs out (or renew it)?

  • @ImWatchinTheTube You must have a store front. You can't just build the guns for your own personal collection. That type of stuff is taken very seriously by the Feds.

  • @ROOR20002 Ok, thanks. Good to know.

  • Nice....those cannons are hard to sight in

  • i got the chance to shoot a fully automatic Galil rifle at a gun range, it was awsome and i am very thankful to the owner of that firearm for allowing me to fire his gun and his bullets. if your into firearms and get the chance take it, you wont regret.

  • Are companies still producing full automatic firearms?

  • @humafrag For police and military mostly.

  • @humafrag Do the armed forces obtain firearms from thin air?

  • @ihaterobbie123 How else would they get them? Everyone knows guns don't grow on trees, grenades do. Rifles come from bushes.

  • "And that's all I have to say about that."

  • I knew it!! It came over the police radio that someone was driving near Dover, TN, towing a Civil War cannon behind a red Honda Element. Hope you made it home OK, and can't wait to see the review on that beast!

  • I thought that was Fort Donelson, yippy for Dover, TN. I was stationed at Fort Campbell for 3 years. Loved it! I miss TN.

  • Awesome

  • What kind of paperwork would be required to get/own a fully automatic .45cal Thompson SMG M1AI?

  • @ZombieAnusPounder

    Transfer is done on an ATF Form 1, acquisition of an FBI FD-258 Fingerprint card, paying for a $200 Tax Stamp on the transfer and the signature of the Chief Law Enforcement Officer in your municipality or county. The Form 1 with the tax stamp and FD-258 are sent to the ATF for review and approval of the transfer. This can take anywhere from 4 to 8 months.

    You'd also have to find an FFL shop that has a Class III SOT to transfer the firearm if it's coming from out of state.

  • I wish I could have my new LMT308MWS with a fun switch on it. But it would be expensive spraying 308 (7.62 NATO) just for fun.

  • $10,000 to $20,000 + is what I'm seeing a lot off these days.

  • I would like an M4 or MP5 with a selector switch for semi auto and 3 round burst.

  • That cannon must be MBS compatible.

  • Oh to hear a cannon that size fire :)

  • i'll betcha kickok can hit the gong with that cannon ;-)

  • In Illinois, they block my SKS clip from using more than 10 bullets... yet you can buy an AK47 with 30? They are so smart here.

  • @Pyrofreak321 Because the AK magazine is probably pre ban.

  • I think you let me down on this one. I thought you were going to shoot the canon.

  • is that massasscuhetts?

  • they are making polymer marvels these days

  • FWIW: Same is true of flamethrowers, minus the BATF paperwork and tax stamp. The big hurdle is the price.

  • @TheFlamethrowerGuy Flame throwers don't require any paperwork let alone a tax stamp. They're considered agricultural equipment, not weapons. At the federal level at least, laws vary from state to state.
